Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said on “Hannity” that Democrats are in a rage and offering “no solutions,” dismissing a claim by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., that Republicans are “on the run.” Gingrich said the left is resorting to extreme tactics in an effort to resist President Donald Trump and oppose Elon Musk’s efforts to cut government spending.
‘THEATRICS’ BY LIBERAL LAWMAKERS DURING TRUMP’S SPEECH ONLY HELPED HIM ACCORDING TO DEM INSIDERS
NEWT GINGRICH: Well, I think that everything you showed earlier reflects what Lincoln said at Gettysburg when he said, this is a test of whether this system or any system so conceived in liberty can survive. You have a hard-line group who believe that they have the right to be violent, that they have the right to deny the American people the choice of their leadership, that they have the right to break the law. The answer to all of that is, frankly, you have to lock them up. You have to enforce the law. Period. And at some point, people begin to realize that you can’t wage war against the entire American people. And in that sense, I would argue that Elon Musk is simply one of the people serving the American people. He’s a senior advisor to the president of the United States. And I think that, in that sense, all of this is totally unacceptable, as is harassing a Supreme Court justice or harassing the vice president and his three-year-old.
